The larger-than-life figure who teased and tormented the Sacramento Kings for so long is now the biggest name to join the franchise's new ownership group. The Kings announced Monday that O'Neal has acquired a minority stake in the team under owner Vivek Ranadive. During the height of his career with the Lakers, O'Neal fueled the rivalry with the Kings with his play on the court and his personality off of it.
